LEGO Thumb Tattoo

I love Nathan's works. I'd stumbled across bits and pieces, but I learned heaps about him after he was chosen as a Geek a Week. He had his own Jepoardy category, you know.

This is a really clever tattoo. Subtle, personal, unique. Everything I'd want mine to be if I even got the courage to get one.

"What better way to pay tribute to my medium of choice, then permanently inking those marks on to my thumb?"

I think the best way to "pay tribute" is to buy more Lego.

This is just simple narcissism and attention-seeking, like most other tattoos. Subtle in execution, but the fact that it's shared across the internet kind of negates all subtlety.

I don't dislike the tattoo, but I dislike the selling of the idea that tattoos are some sort of "perfect tribute" to things that you like. Maybe "a" tribute, but to those things, but they're much more a tribute to the person behind the needle. After all, you're willing to let that person write on you with permanent ink.

Please, I only ask one day with a Lego post. Just one.

Sweet ink, though I can't imagine how painful it must have been to get

This unfortunately reminds me of that photoshop involving a lotus pod...
